What’s dental bonding?
With the same material we use for all-white composite fillings, we can correct a host of dental imperfections. Composite resin is a liquid that we tint to match the color of existing tooth enamel, so the result is seamless. Resin hardens when exposed to a curing light, forming a durable and reliable restoration. The process is fast and beautiful, and bonding is an affordable option.
When added to reshape tooth structure, dental bonding can:
- Expand the width of front teeth to close gaps and uneven spacing
- Veneer a front tooth to cover permanent stains
- Veneer front teeth to reduce sensitivity due to thin enamel or crazing (weblike cracks)
- Repair small chips on front teeth
- Repair chips on children’s teeth
What’s dental contouring?
Dental contouring involves precise removal of some tooth enamel to improve a tooth’s shape. We use contouring to:
- Smooth rough edges
- Smooth sharp edges (canine teeth)
- Smooth small chips
- In some cases, to make teeth appear more even and uniform
Would other procedures accomplish the same result?
Yes and no. Cosmetic dental bonding adds to tooth structure. One alternative is white dental crowns. Though bulky, white crowns can improve the appearance of front teeth, in some cases. Another option is porcelain veneers. Veneers are the longest lasting, most durable option to correct imperfections on front teeth, but quality veneers are somewhat expensive.
Dental contouring is the only procedure to remove tooth enamel, with the result of improving the appearance of teeth.
Benefits of Bonding: What You Should Know
Bonding typically lasts five to ten years before it needs replacement. As the material ages and wears, a seam can develop between the bonding and natural tooth enamel. Stains can become trapped in the seam, making a noticeable line. However, bonding costs less than veneers and crowns, and it’s done chairside – so you’ll experience no wait time on lab-made restorations.
Plan to replace dental bonding every 7 years, on average.
Contouring is also very affordable. Unlike bonding, however, contouring lasts forever.
